2. The unit will reset to normal sensitivity at the end of the
silenced period. If additional silenced time is required, simply
push the Hush Button again.
3. To quickly return to normal non-silenced operation, simply
push the Test Button; the Alarm will sound briefly and return to
its normal, sensitive Alarm mode.
4. If the cause of the Alarm is not clear, it should be assumed
that it is due to an actual fire and the dwelling should be
evacuated immediately.
If kitchen usage/layout is such that there are an unacceptable
level of nuisance alarms, re-locate the Smoke Alarm where it
will be less affected by cooking fumes etc.
(c) Cleaning your Smoke Alarm
Clean your Smoke Alarm regularly. Use a soft bristle brush or
the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust
and cobwebs from the sides and cover slots where the smoke
enters. Keep cover closed while cleaning. Do not vacuum or
brush inside the Smoke Alarm. To clean the cover, remove it
completely and use only mild soap and water. Dry cover
thoroughly before replacing it.
WARNING: Do not paint your Smoke Alarm.
Other than the maintenance and cleaning described in this
leaflet, no other customer servicing of this product is required.
Repairs, when needed, must be performed by the
manufacturer.
(d) End of life
The entire Smoke Alarm must be replaced if:-
(i) The unit is installed for over 10 years (check the replace by
date marked on the side of the base).
(ii) The unit is giving a short beep every 40 seconds for over 1
hour.
(iii) The unit fails to sound the horn loudly when the test button
is pressed.
Before the Smoke Alarm is discarded, cut "end of life" red wire
shown in figure 6a with a scissors to stop the low battery beeps
or the possibility of the unit alarming. Do not put the Smoke
Alarm into a fire.
We recommend that the unit is maintained (i.e. battery checked
and unit cleaned) as described above at least yearly.
